antiobodies are produced as the first line of defense. they are produced in bacterial, viral as well as any allergic reactions too. but, in the case with interferons they are only produced during the viral infections, for example in the case of common cold the interferons are produced which defense against the virus. they dont kill the cells but makes them susceptible.
the most common eg is the Swine Flu virus..

Antibodies stick to any viruses or infections. They don't attack, but they are like homing devices. They track the diseases so white blood cells (the attackers) know where the diseases are.
Are antibodies made of enzymes?
Antibodies are not made of enzymes. Although they are both made of proteins, these substances have different structures and therefore have different functions
Is interferons produced by T cells?
Yes.
What Cytosine's block viral replication?
interferons
Do Interferons work against viruses?
